Deanxit is a combination of two psychotropic substances, Flupentixol and Melitracen, which are typical antipsychotic and tricyclic antidepressant respectively. They regulate some neurotransmitters in the brain in many different pathways to treat depression with symptoms such as anxiety, asthenia, neuroses, apathy, and dysphoria.
Deanxit is taken orally as tablets. The usual dose is 1 tablet twice daily in the morning and at noon. In more severe cases, you may need to increase the morning dose to 2 tablets. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
